Abstract

Aging is inevitable, among the several organs that suffer with aging, the skin is an organ that suffers considerably with external factors, which potentially interferes on the precocious aging of the organ. Such aging is associated with a higher probability of developing dermatological diseases as well as substantially interferes with aesthetic issues. Based on this assumption, the objective of this study was to analyze the frequency of exposure of university students to risk factors involving skin aging. Were invited to participate in the study students of several university courses in the area of health. Each volunteer answered a structured questionnaire containing questions related to exposure to risk factors related to skin aging, such as smoking, alcoholism, prolonged sun exposure, absence of photo protection and few hours of sleep per day. In all, 298 volunteers from various health courses were interviewed, most of whom declared themselves white. We found a low frequency of smokers (11%), but higher frequency of individuals who ingested alcohol (42%), and additionally about 33% of individuals reported sun exposure, and about 56% of respondents did not use photo protection. Regarding sleep, about 56% of the individuals described having less than 6 hours of sleep per day. The studied population is frequently exposed to the main intrinsic and extrinsic factors involved with skin aging.
